ive noticed a rather loud high pitched squeaking sound coming from the front of my car, it only happens when the car is in motion. When the car comes to a stop, or near stop, the noise disappears. I thought it might be a belt of some sort, but ive ruled that out. After getting about 10 or so MPH, i can hear the noise, its not a consistant squeel, but sounds more like as each time the front axel makes the tires rotate one revolution, it will squeak. ....any ideas?
 
when you say each time the axle makes the tire make one revolution it squeaks do you mean its more like a chirping at low speeds?
if so it could be a bent axle if you have recently hit a big pothole or the car had recently been in a wreck and you just got it back it could very well be the axle, and every time the wheel spins it wobbles just barely causing the the brake pad to scratch the rotor and hence causes a chirp sound, and at high speeds a continuous chirp which would sound like a squeal. just one possibility because that has happened to me before.
 
Could be the wheel bearing on that side.
Could be the brake pad wear indicator.
Could be a seized caliper pin, causing the caliper not to sit straight.
Could be a warped rotor.

That's all I can think of right now.
